Cookies not Sticking! HELP

I don't know about replacing egg, but have you tried parchment paper for the bottom of the pan?

Yes, I would also recommend parchment paper. I use it for cookies, granola, pretty much everything that gets baked on a cookie sheet in the oven. I would try this as a good non-stick surface for your baking pans. It should be good up to 400 degrees if I'm remembering correctly.

No parchment paper is different. I don't think wax paper is meant for the oven. Or try a Silpat, a silicone sheet in your cookie tray. They are expensive but you only buy it once.

Parchment paper is available in the same aisle as wax paper, foil, plastic wrap. It is coated with something that makes the paper non stick. It is also whiter than wax paper. It can also be used more than once ie several sheets of cookies you are baking on the same day.

For cakes, you can grease the pan with shortening (Spectrum is soy-free), butter or Mother's Margarine (dairy/soy-free) and then sprinkle flour in the pan to flour it.
Use non-stick pans as much as possible. Be sure to preheat the oven. Try moving the oven rack to a different position--is the bottom cooking too fast? Move the rack up.
Those silicone mats really work!
Are you using oil or solid fat (butter/shortening) in your cookies? Solid fat should work better.
If things are crumbly, you can try adding 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum. It really works!
If you need to oil a pan, you can always brush a little safe oil on the pan.
What kind of cookies are you trying to make? Maybe someone here has a recipe for you to try.
I hope some of these tips help. I've been baking without eggs for years and also without soy whenever my SIL is visiting. So I know that it can work [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img] Keep trying!

I always bake on parchament paper. Cookies slide right off, and never burn on the bottom. It was a great discovery. Clean up is a breeze as well. becca

I highly recommend parchment as well. It is wonderful--nothing sticks and no clean-up. Silpats also work well, but you do have to wash them, while you just throw out the parchment.
